How to delete a wicd Linux wireless manager
network
I've a previously saved Wireless Network in
wicd Linux network
wireless manager and it appears he has changed his ESSID
Wireless Network name.
Pitily there is presently a bug in wicd, so in wicd the wireless
network saved under the Access Point (AP) name's name is changed to
another name.
Yet the network is shown in wicd wireless manager under the old
name.
Therefore I needed to change the name of the present wireless
network.
After a quick investigation I've found a way to change it. To do so
I had to edit
/etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf and change
the old network wireless name to a the new one and afterwards I had
to.
debian:~# killall -9 wicd-client
debian:~$ wicd-client &
That's all necessary as a workaround to the wicd-client bug that
presents the old network ESSID name associated to the AP mac
address to the new SSID name.
It's quite ridiculous that such a bugs exist yet in wicd. I'll
report the bug in Debian bug tracking system as well as in wicd
website
Let's hope the developers are about to solve the error very
soon.
